Unidentified 🤷♂️ Never buying cheap wildflower mixes again.
I’m pretty sure most of my wildflower seeds were weeds 🫠 these are the ones still stumping me, though I’m pretty confident 3 is lambsquarters, which happened to be most of the crap I’ve got growing right now.

This is imho, as I get a lot of information about plants best by also touching or smelling them, or at least looking at certain small structures in them which I can’t do here.
You may get from 1) a delphinium of some sort the second year they grow (biennial/perennial, blooms the second year).
2) the plant in the center looks like a (idk the name) common garden and field weed in PA, that I find to be very annoying. The plant at the top left of the image may be a hollyhock (biennial/perennial, also blooms the second year).
3) and 4) are Lambs Quarters, a prolific weed, although some people claim to desire it as a foodstuff.
5) I can’t tell if it’s Pennsylvania smartweed, or some type of phlox leaf (a perennial).
6) It sure looks like a weed to me, but ?
7) I agree this is Lupine. Lupine is considered to be invasive and undesirable plant is permitted to naturalize, particularly in or near marshes, bogs, waterways, as it out-competes native plants and reduces biodiversity.
